The Great Shadow
Arthur Conan Doyle
Set in an English-Scottish border village during the waning days of the Napoleonic
era, this adventure story introduces us to Jock Calder, whose quiet way of life is
shattered when a mysterious stranger steps ashore near his home.
The stranger changes forever the lives of Jock, his cousin Edie, and his best friend
Jim, sending the young men into the jaws of the final battle to defeat The Great
Shadow that threatens to devour the whole of Europe.
Don't look for Sherlock Holmes in this well-written tale, but do expect a wonderful
glimpse of life at the end of the Napoleonic era, including an exciting rendition of
The Battle of Waterloo.
